This weekend’s Libra Moon opposite the Aries Sun draws attention to how we bring ourselves as individuals to relationships, and how we keep our sense of self intact while respecting others and maintaining social harmony. Our instincts under a Libra Moon are peaceful, diplomatic, and sociable, but our core selves under the Aries Sun are self-assertive and driven, even aggressive, so we may find our softer reactions feeling almost self-sabotaging, especially since this Full Moon coincides with a conjunction between Mars and Saturn in Capricorn in a T-Square formation with the Sun and the Moon. When Mars and Saturn join forces, we can find ourselves experiencing powerful frustration connected to obstacles both real and perceived in Capricorn’s material realms. That said, when patiently and consciously applied, the energies of these combined forces can yield a powerful drive to overcome those obstacles, and when we are certain what we are we willing to go the distance for, Saturn’s patience with process and Mars’ martial spirit can help us manifest real outcomes where we may have previously felt powerless to succeed. Mars can stir the courage to persevere in the face of our worst Saturnine fears, and Saturn can steady the reins of an otherwise rambunctious Mars.

Mercury’s retrograde through Aries brings him conjunct the Sun at this Full Moon, increasing both our conscious awareness during this process and encouraging us to think twice about where we have been im communicating our personal needs within relationships. With the Sun and Mercury both in Aries, we may find ourselves taking an executive tone and identifying strongly with our ideas, which the square to Mars/Saturn may lead us to defend far more fiercely than usual if challenged. With Saturn in the mix not only are we likely to find our ideas challenged, we can find those challenges stirring our deepest fears and insecurities. This is a time to take a deep breath and cultivate our ability to see the silver lining in whatever storm clouds rear their heads, and learn what lessons may come from a willingness to see more than one side of any story. And because the Sun and Mercury are trining the North Node in Leo at this time, those lessons have the capacity to yield rich insights in connection with our karmic path, resulting in real progress in the ongoing journey of our souls. If we are willing to do the hard work that Mars and Saturn in Capricorn demand, we can weather any emotional and communicative upsets stirred up by these transits, and create lasting relationships of mutual benefit with our souls’ traveling companions that help clear the way before us in pursuit of our dearest long-term goals.

All aspect times used in creating this post are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. I tend to speak in broad terms when I reference time on this blog, referring to time-frames like “morning” or “afternoon” rather than specific times, since I still have a lot of friends on the East Coast who read these posts and I’d like them to be pertinent to those friends as well as folks here on the West Coast. Readers from further abroad will need to adjust time-frames accordingly.

Please keep in mind that we all have different responses to the aspects of the day because we all have different natal and progressed charts with which these aspects interact. If you would like to know more about your own natal and progressed charts in order to better understand how the aspects of the day will affect you, please take a look at my astrological services, and let’s get started on helping you to understand your life better! The threads of fate can only be adjusted when we start from a place of deep self-knowing.
